Cost: $9/night for homestay, plus flight and incidentals

Description: This is a great project, because it provides the security of a good homestay family and meaningful work. It's fairly straightforward -- working at a construction site with Costa Rican families and helping construct their future homes... you'll be doing everything, from mixing cement, laying foundation, to building walls, and laying roof sheets!

Field Notes: Highly recommend it...great chance to do meaningful work and explore an amazing country -- Sartaj Narang
